You’re supposed to “open” emails?!

Is this a joke? That’s honestly way more organized than my email has ever been.

Sadly, his controlling shares mean he’s unoustable, but let’s never exclude the possibility of an early leaden retirement if he loses enough of other people’s money.

May I offer him a timely “Whomp-Whomp!” in his hour of need? Perhaps even extended to a sad trombone: “Whomp-waaaaaaaaaaaa!”

I’d vote Harris (twice even!) if SMCF was her running mate. Now there’s a ticket we can (but should not) get behind: Harris\Cumfart 2028!

Rolls d20 for damage: 1.

“You get off with a warning, this time.”

MAGA demons after a long day of politicizing people.

I liked it, but it does get pretty dull in the end game. Lots of repetitive body management, and you get into a perfectionist mindset where you want to only put top-tier bodies into the ground or to work as zombies, so you end up burning a lot of bodies and grinding for good organs.

Plus, the story goes basically no where even with the expansions. A lot of fun, good for that Stardew Valley itch, but flawed. Hopefully their sequel is a richer game.

I had one I’d been keeping for about 6 years, then suddenly, it bloomed! Now it blooms almost every year, twice sometimes, and it’s offspring have also started after a few years! I love them, all those pretty little bell-blossoms. Mine are more reddish I think, loving the green-yellow of yours, but maybe they’ll redden over time as well.

Awesome! I got OpenGoal set up last year to replay Jak 1. I’m amazed they’ve got 3 running already, quite an accomplishment for this team! The Jak series were some of my favorite PS2 games growing up as well! 2 was always my fav.

SyncThing will do it. I keep sync folders across all my devices, and use a write-only folder (requires some advanced config) to backup phone camera photos. It can be configured per device to only use WiFi.

Makes sense if you consider how LLMs work. No expert starts off a piece of writing with “I am an expert in math, here is a proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem.”

You’d get better results prompting it for a style of document. Instead of “you are a screenwriter” just start it off “Script for Harry Potter Goes for Surf n TERF. Scene 1: The Sweaty Troll, a wizard gay bar” and then let it run from there.

“Artificial Intelligence” is a very broad term that, within computer science, covers a range of techniques and tools that broadly cover the study of “human-like behavior and impersonation.” Before the current fad of calling LLMs “AI”, the term was most often used in video games and covered techniques for pathfinding, decision making, reacting, seeming to speak, etc. Before that, pre-90s basically, “AI” had already undergone a few boom and bust cycles of hype with chess playing machines and, as always, chat bots.

In many fields, many of these same techniques and their descendants are being used to model and simulate and predict. All of them have trade-offs and limitations, that’s what computer science is all about.

A fun and unique RTS, really trying to break the StarCraft\C&C\TA mold and do some unique things. I don’t know about the MP strategy or macro, but the morphing units and the perimeter itself plus energy management make for pretty good gimmicks and a decently fun SP campaign.

As others have said, marijuana is almost never adulterated. At best, you could mix some CBD or non psychoactive hemp to stretch it, but it’d be less potent and weed buyers today often buy for potency. (Not me man, I’m old, gimme that weak dad grass any day!) And of course, everyone has a story about the kid that bought a pound of oregano and thought it was ditch-grass.

For other harder drugs, you do sometimes get adulteration. Fentanyl, being a very powerful opiate, is sometimes mixed in small amounts into other “white powder” drugs, like heroin or cocaine, sometimes along with cheap non-reactive filler like talc. This is to stretch supply and make more money for the dealer. Ideally, this wouldn’t kill their users but:

1. Different drugs act differently, so while it might be “safe” to do a larger heroin dose for a fun occasion, if you dont realize it’s been cut with fentanyl then you can easily overdose by accident. And people already overdose on heroin, the line between a wild time and dead can be rather thin.
2. Drug Dealers aren’t graduate level chemists, often they haven’t graduated anything, and dont realize that some powder they’ve used as a filler is toxic or becomes toxic in combination with other things or when heated, etc.

I’m Way-in-to this joke! I appreciate all the media you had to Combs through to assemble this.

The people are calling him Mua’Roo, they say he is their prophesied messiah.

We must crush this Mua’Roo, and his witch mother Kangessica.

Pepperidge Farm remembers…

Actually their logo has really only had the 2 iterations (and apparently a couple of real goofy attempts in the early 00’s)

U7 was one of my first favorite games and probably set me uo to hate EA from a very young age, you know, along with watching them wreck all my favorite game studios for my whole life.

Really cool! I kind of love it 😍

If I may ask, what’s your process like? Do you draw the path or the maze first? Do you ever do labyrinths? Do you follow some heuristic or just let the maze flow?

I also underwent a shift from atheism and materialism (in reaction to my Christian upbringing) into a more syncretic form of personal spirituality. I’ve really taken to heart the idea (which i think I learned from Jodorowsky) that magic is a language which speaks to the unconscious, and so spirituality isn’t just comforting woo, but actually can shift beliefs and ideas, impacting behaviors and outcomes. I also think spirituality is vital to community and buidling better societies.
